What ingredients are in parma violets?

Parma Violets are made with a surprisingly simple list of ingredients:

* Sugar

* Glucose syrup

* Potato starch

* Vegetable fat

* Flavouring (which gives the distinct violet flavor)

* Colour (usually a combination of natural and artificial food colouring)

While the exact proportions are a closely guarded secret, this basic formula results in the iconic chewy, sweet candy.
